From Vienna with love…
Viola, an old penpal, had just finish recording her band’s second album. Oh yeah… a jazz quartet. I think I blogged about them sometime ago. Its quite a delight, for she had emailed me to ask for my address so that she can send me personally autographed CDs.
Here at endroog.com, I’ll be supportive of friends and their happening events… like recently, Dominic’s lomography exhibition.
Congratulations, Viola.

If you ask me which Malay song that I won’t get tired of and I can listen again and again in a row… it has to be this one by M.Nasir of Siapa Mahathir (Who is Mahathir) fame many years ago. Man, he was banned to appear in mass media for sometime. Go and google it if you want. I just love the spiritual and uplifting beat of this song.

Hei! kersani mengalir lah dikau
Menjadi raksa
Mengisi belikat punggungku
Agar aku bisa berdiri
Tegap dan segak
Bagaikan laksmana Melayu
Hei! sepuluh helai daun sirih
Ku gentas bersama
Bunga cengkih jadilah dikau
Darah merah pekat
Mengisi uratku
Agar bisa aku berlangkah
Gagah dan tampan
Bagaikan sijantan yang berkokok
Di mana bumi ku pijak
Di situ langit ku junjung
Alang-alang menyeluk pekasam
Biar sampai ke pangkal lengan
Aku seru mentera pusakaku
Mentera semerah padi

I sold my soul for the second time
‘Cause the man He don’t pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said “Son, the bills are waiting”
My best friend called me the other night
He said “Man – are you crazy”
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said “Boy – you’re lazy”
But I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man’s got a limit
I can’t get a life if my heart’s not in it
Hey Hey
I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man’s got a limit
I can’t get a life if my heart’s not in it
Hey Hey
I lost my faith in the summer time
‘Cause it don’t stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I’m not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line
He said “Son – words fail me”
It ain’t no place to be killing time
I guess I’m just lazy
BUT I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man’s got a limit
I can’t get a life if my heart’s not in it
Hey Hey

I look into my morning mirror
And it reveals some things to me that I had not been able to see
I saw someone that Im not sure I want to be
An empty lonely face was starin back at me
All and all, I would have to say
Its been a rather dismal day
The afternoon was slow in coming
I drug myself outside the people that I knew would be there
And though they walked along pretending not to care
I knew behind my back theyd point and laugh and stare
Chorus
And now the evening shadows falling
I guess its best I lay my hopes to rest for noones calling my name
I sit and wait behind a door thats never knocked on
I live in silence like my phone thats never talked on
Chorus
I’ve come to like Bread through this song. They have many other songs that worth your time to listen. The Best of Bread is the CD for you to try then.
Hope we can sing this to our boss every year to show our respect to him. Too bad my mouth is locked. I cant sing it to him. But the spirit is there.
We’re just ta kung chai.
ngo tei yi pan ta kung chai
I.0. I. I. I. I. I. I. 0. I. 0. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O.
I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
You know I love getting up in the morning
When the sun first strikes the trees
All the morning birds that sing above
Still bring back memories
Of a girl who stood beside me
When the rights I did were wrong
But she went back down the river
Just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.0.
She never told me why she left me
But the letter say goodbye
Now my mornings are for wond’ring
And my nights to reason why
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
Of a girl I had to hold
But she went back down the river
Just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I sing, I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I sing, I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I.O. I.0.
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
Well, I think this is how they coined the word we use everyday to show displeasure:
aiyo, aiyoh & ayoyo
And there’s a remake of this song by the girly Taiwanese group, S.H.E. Ayoyo.
